For the anglers that don't drive on the sand, do you guys wheel your carted yak down to the shoreline and walk the cart back to your car or do you strap the cart onto the yak? I'd be quite hesitant to leave a unattended yak while I run the cart back to my truck.

I have a Tamcoma Sport 2WD with a rear limited slip and its fine. I drove about 200 feet from the surfline. The sand is firm in La Jolla ... you will be fine.

Don't most guys drop the air pressure in tires to get more traction ? Of course you will need a pump from Walmart to inflate them again . Your truck is very well balanced . In the unlikely event you do get stuck, dropping the pressure will help tremendously . That along with a few beach goers standing on back bumper to put additional weight . Or my F-250 with this tow strap I bought for such occasions is the last resort . I am just waiting to recoupe my money for strap.

I own a 2wd tacoma without a locker, just go for it... Done it a million times without thinking about it, never a problem. But now that I said that who's pulling me out when I get stuck in the morning?
